Kawaii Kon 2012 is proud to announce the opening for submissions to the Video Art Showcase Theater (VAST) Contest. We want YOU to submit your fan-made videos!

Who can enter?Anyone can enter the VAST Contest - attendance is not required, although encouraged. The only exclusion to entry is the direct staff of KK-VAST – all other KK staffers are allowed to submit an entry.

What can I enter?Any video editing project may be entered by its creator(s). Entries are not limited to AMV’s alone – any work of original production video art is also allowed, which includes (but not limited to) live action, self-animated, and self-shot video work. Currently, there is no limit to the number of entries. The only exception to this are videos entered in previous Kawaii Kon-AMV / VAST contests - which are considered ineligible for entry into the 2012 contest.

Where can I enter?There are two ways to enter the VAST Contest: snail-mail or via the internet (either thru public file transfer sites not requiring memberships to download or your own web hosting site). No entries will be accepted at the convention.

When can I enter?Entry acceptance starts NOW!Entry deadline is Midnight (or there abouts) on January 31, 2012 <-- PASSED, THANKS ALL WHO ENTREDWinners will be announced at the conclusion of the KK-VAST Video Art Contest on Saturday, March 17, 2012

Why do I enter?To win, of course! A 'Best In Showcase' will be awarded. Other prizes / awards may be included at the discretion of the KK-VAST staff, judges, guests, or the KK-VAST Director (meaning, me).

How do I enter?Make a video, fill in the entry form, enter it and make sure it gets to us by the entry deadline – couldn’t be simpler. Preferred format is MPEG2 - other formats will also be accepted but they will be converted to MPEG2 on this end for display / archiving purposes. However, for the most control over how your video is displayed, it is suggest that you do your own MPEG2 conversion work.

Questions?again, for full details, please see the long version of rulesPlease post questions below in this thread, or email the VAST Director at kk.vast@gmail.com

l33tmeatwad: um... sure? No guarantee that it will be shown, but sure? send it in?

TritioAFB: woo, surprises, we likes surprises. Please do save time to edit!

Ileia: well, yes, that was one of the original ideas for an award (get a local cartoonist to draw a customized award per the video) but it has never been implemented. Hmm... maybe it's time to resurrect the idea? And Thanks Yue for pointing Ileia our way

Vlad: yes, as Judge Holden put it last time, "Enter VAST and win some WOOD!"

Can't wait to see what comes in guys! Thanks for making VAST what it is!
